It's been a while since my last post of this patch series, but here we go gain.

Changes since last post:
- Dropped the master daemon sleep change for now, that needs some more work.
- Splitted up the patch into a couple of logical chunks.

The patches are

Sven Wegener (5):
      ipvs: Initialize mcast addr at compile time
      ipvs: Use ERR_PTR for returning errors from make_receive_sock() and make_send_sock()
      ipvs: Use kthread_run() instead of doing a double-fork via kernel_thread()
      ipvs: Put backup thread on mcast socket wait queue
      ipvs: Use schedule_timeout_interruptible() instead of msleep_interruptible()

The overall difstat looks like

 ip_vs_sync.c |  431 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------------
  1 file changed, 172 insertions(+), 259 deletions(-)

The patches are based on v2.6.26-rc8. If someone wants to pull them, that can
be done from

git://git.stealer.net/linux-2.6.git stealer/ipvs/sync-daemon-cleanup

These patches look good to me.

So, who is going to take these patches? I expect them to go through 
davem's net-next tree, so I've rebased them onto his tree and appended 
your acked-by. The hton -> __constant_hton change is included.

The changes 0b57664..375c6bb are available at
